PREFACE 

After forty-one years of experience and observa- 
tion regarding Physical Exercises, I have arrived at 
the following conclusion, viz., the average person 
seeking health, through exercise, becomes very en- 
thusiastic (for a few days) over any and every "new" 
system, practices faithfully during the time and then 
drops the whole thing. 

Why? Because all extensive systems (my own not 
excepted) contain more than the average person has 
the time or inclination to follow daily unless he is 
preparing to become a specialist in this particular 
field. 

Therefore, I have chosen from my own system of 
Physical Education (Tensing) the exercises / take, 
invariably, every morning; such exercises as may be 
taken in twenty minutes ; such exercises as will, with 
right living, put and keep the human machinery in 
good running order; such exercises as may be taken 
with benefit by the child of six or the child of sev- 
enty-six. 

These exercises are fully illustrated herein and 
given in the order as I take them every day of the 
3^ear. Do thou likewise and years will be added unto 
thy life and life unto thy years. 

Vigorously yours, 

Edward B. Warm an.

General Directions 

Do not hold the breath during an exercise. Con- 
tract the muscles as though overcoming a natural 
resistance. When the muscle is brought to its great- 
est tension it should be held a moment and then re- 
laxed. 

After becoming familiar with the movements the 
time required to take all the exercises will not exceed 
twenty minutes. 

Correct position of the body when standing and 
sitting, and correct carriage of the body when walk- 
ing, together with full, deep breathing and right 
living, are essential to HEALTH. 

The exercises, to be of the greatest benefit, should 
becomes a daily habit. The minutes faithfully spent 
now will reward you in yeai's by and by. 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LiBtlARt. 



Before Arising 

Lie flat on the' back. Stretch the entire body, 
tensing and relaxing the muscles of the neck, arms, 
back, chest, abdomen and legs. This increases heart 
action and causes arterial distention in the most nat- 
ural and effective manner. 



After Arising 

Cleanse the teeth, rinse the mouth, gargle, drink 
one or two glasses of cold water, then take all the 
exercises in the order given; take them vigorously 
but not violently. 

Follow the exercises with a suitable bath (prefer- 
ably cold if there is sufficient vitality for reaction) ; 
at least such a bath as is more suited to the needs of 
the bodv than to the whims of the mind.

The Secret of Never Growind Old 

By E. B. WARMAN, A.M. 
(Written for the Health Culture Magazine, Passaic, N. J., March, 1909.) 



It is a long while since I dropped in to have a 
chat with the Health-Culture family; yet I have 
kept in close touch with them through the columns 
of their excellent medium, the Health-Culture ^laga- 
zine, which, by the way, grows better and better as 
the months go by. 

While there are other health magazines, igood 
magazines, yet I think none quite so good. I think 
Dr. Latson, like good wine, improves with age (no 
insinuation, Doctor), and also like wine, sometimes 
comes mighty near intoxicating with his exuberance 
of spirits. 

Well, it has been some years since I gave a mes- 
sage to the many readers of Health-Culture. Years, 
did I say? Yes, years, chronologically only. Time 
deals gently with me because I deal gently with 
Time. I've found the secret of never growing old; 
but, like a woman, I'll tell you if you'll promise 
never — to — tell — a — living — soul. 

First of all, mind and body must act synchro- 
nously. Mind right, body right; body wrong, mind 
wrong. No, I do not think "all is mind." I cannot 
deny the evidences of the senses. We have been 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 35 

given a material body on this material plane for 
material pnrpobes; but God, in His all-wise provi- 
dence, put the head on top, and a reasoning faculty 
in that old noddle which we are supposed to use 
intelligently as regards the bodily functions. Mind 
is master, the body is the servant. 

The metaphysician tells us that "mind is that 
indefinable something as opposed to non-entity." 
\Vlien pressed further as to w^hat is mind? he says: 
'^Never matter." Then what is matter? "Never 
mind." So there we are, in treadmill fashion, just 
where we started. 

But this is not telling my secret of never growing 
old. First of all, as previously stated, the mind 
must be right. Hold no thought of the passing 
years except to keep tab so that there will be no mis- 
take in the death notice that will militate against 
collecting the life insurance. (I do not carry any 
myself, except health insurance, and I am presi- 
dent, treasurer, secretary, sole stockholder and only 
member.) 

The mind should never hold any limit of age. I 
used to say, "Oh, I'm going to live to be a hundred 
years old." The word old is superfluous; to put 
the limit at one hundred is foolish. Now, I say, 
instead, "I shall not reach my prime until eighty, 
go bounding past the hundred-mile post (beginning 



36 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

my second century with much more vigor than I did 
the first), pass the one hundred and twenty at a 
lively gait, and then on to one hundred and forty, 
and — then — some." 

\Yhj not? "As a man thinketh in his heart so 
is he." Even the animals, as a rule, live to five 
times the period of their growth. Why should not 
man? The leading scientists claim that man does 
not attain his full growth until reaching the age of 
twenty-eight; thus to reach one hundred and forty 
would put us only on a par with the lower animals 
as far as longevity is concerned. 

Three score and ten was never given as a limit, 
only as a possibility. Eead Isaiah Ixv, 20, and see 
how your blood will go pulsating with new life. 
Wait a minute ere you read Genesis vi, 3. Even 
these are only possibilities, just resting places along 
the way. Do you catch the spirit? Catch it and 
hold it evermore — the spirit of youth. 

As a psychologist, let me impress you with one of 
the strongest factors that makes for health and a 
long life, viz., mind is indivisible. You cannot 
think of two things at once any more than you can 
be in two places at the same time. Therefore, focus 
your thought-force on the condition you desire rather 
than on the condition that exists, if the existing con- 
dition is not one of health. But do not stop at this ; 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY 37 

do something and undo some things. Do not be like 
some of the ^^Xew Thoughters/' who believe they 
can sit in the silence and attract anything they 
desire — horses, carriages, flowers, friends. Possibly 
so, but they will be the horses, carriages flowers and 
friends that come to them in that greater silence — 
and that w^ll be too late. We can sit and think and 
plan, but we must also act. "All things come to him 
who will but wait" — if he hustles while he waits. 

Begin your day — ere you arise — with a stretching 
exercise. Slowly and yet vigorously you should alter- 
nately tense and relax every muscle of your body. 
This will gradually arouse the heart, and cause 
arterial distention. Then arise, cleanse the teeth. 
rinse the mouth, gargle, drink two glasses of cold 
water (not hot), then take from ten to twenty min- 
utes of vigorous but not violent exercise; such exer- 
cise as will bring into healthful action every one of 
the general muscles and every joint of the body. 
Then bathe head, face and neck in cold water. Fol- 
low this with a full body bath; such a bath as is 
best suited to the needs of the body rather than to 
the whims of the mind. Be not too hasty in dress- 
ing. If the room is of proper temperature (cannot 
be too cold for cold bath if you have vitality enough 
to react, but should not be cold for warm bath), I 
would advise an air bath of a few moments. 



38 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

After dressing, get out in the open air a few 
moments and move about briskly enougli to compel 
deep breathing. This is the best way to take a 
breathing exercise. Stationary running will serve 
the purpose admirably. When at home (in Cali- 
fornia), being fond of bicycling, I arise one hour 
before daylight (20 minutes to exercise, 20 minutes 
cold bath, 20 minutes bicycle costume), mount my 
wheel, ride (bare-headed) twenty miles (inside of 
ninety minutes) without over-exertion. Eeturn, 
clean wheel, warm bath with soap, finish with cold 
bath, air bath, dress. 

Then I eat a light breakfast (more often none at 
all). Nothing more until six-o'clock dinner. Work 
all day and usually late into the night. One square 
meal a day (preferably about 6 P. M.) will run the 
human machinery for twenty-four hours. Eemem- 
ber, you are working to-day on the capital you have 
invested (and digested, absorbed, assimiliated) yes- 
terday. Do not mistake stimulation for strength. 
Some prefer the "no-breakfast" plan and take 
luncheon or hearty meal at noon hour. This is a 
matter of choice, habit, etc. Be that as it may, one 
hearty meal is sufficient. 

Listen ! I'm not preaching one thing and prac- 
ticing another. I'm always willing to be measured 
by the same standard wherewith I measure. I chal- 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 39 

lenge any one to say and prove that I ever violate 
privately or publicly any principle that I publicly 
inculcate. I never miss a morning of my life (of my 
life is simply for emphasis) taking my exercises. To 
illustrate: A few weeks ago, in Iowa, I had occa- 
sion to change cars at 4:20 A. M. (a very cold morn- 
ing, unusually so for one living in California). I 
had the porter call me at 3 :30 in order not to miss 
my morning devotions (physical). Eight here let 
me whisper a secret within a secret — system and 
regularitij; these are what tell in the long run, and 
it's the long run we are talking about. 

To remain young and to prolong life, whether you 
eat one, two or three meals a day, do not neglect the 
thorough mastication of your food — not counting 
the number of times for each mouthful — mental 
arithmetic is out of place at the table — but do not 
srwallow it until it liquefies. They say good-bye to it 
and give it no further thought. Do not eat too many 
kinds of food at the same meal, and avoid wrong 
combinations. 

The three life essentials are air, water and food, 
and are of greatest value in the order given. Keep 
the four eliminating agents (skin, kidneys, bowels, 
lungs) normally active without the use of drastic 
remedies. 

No hard, fast rules can be laid down for the gen-

eral public to follow. Each one must be a law unto 
himself, providing he understands the law. Keep 
in touch with the precepts laid down so plainly in 
Health-Culture, and you will be able to apply them 
to your individual case and thus bring your body 
under subjection. 

In conclusion, if you wish to attain to longevity 
without growing old, bear in mind that the price of 
health is eternal vigilance — mentally, morally, phys- 
ically. 

Maturity is not desired. Nature has no use for 
things matured, except to rot and return to Mother 
Earth. Eipeness, soundness, is much to be preferred, 
and then to retain that soundness indefinitely. Like 
the tree, in good soil and climate, you should reach 
the maximum (physically) and there remain many, 
many years with scarcely any perceptible change. 
The old oak or elm reaches its maximum and retains 
it with scarcely a foreshadowing of decline for many 
scores of years. So with man, in proportion. It is, 
in fact, a prolongation of middle life. As for myself, 
I have not 3'et reached the maximum of middle life, 
as I am only nearing the — wait a moment until I 
look up the record — here it is — born the same year 
of the postage stamp, 1847 (that probably accounts 
for my stick-to-it-ive-ness). Let's see, 1847; that 
makes me sixty-two years young, '^comin' " April. 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 41 

Yes, that's right; for I remember last April I cele- 
brated in my usual way, i. e., riding my bicycle (not 
motorcycle) as many miles as I was years young — 
and I covered the sixty-one miles by 11 :45 A. M. 
(not P. M.), beating my previous record over the 
same route (poor roads) by two hours. 

\Yell ! w^ell ! only sixty-two. Pshaw ! I'm only a 
kid; too young to tell people how to avoid growing 
old. But, as I have written this, we'll let it go. 

As I am on a lecture tour this season, with Oska- 
loosa, Iowa, as my headquarters, wife and I are 
having a taste of winter, the first for many years. 
"We shall surely return to dear, old Southern Cali- 
fornia with a fuller appreciation than ever of "The 
Land of the Afternoon." 

In the words of "tiny Tim" — "God bless us 
everyone." 

Vigorously yours.

Object and Benefits of Fasting 

By e. b. warman. A.m. 

(Written for the Oskaloosa (Iowa) Daily Herald, March 18, 1909.) 

Having just completed a fast of a few days, an 
absolute fast from all food, I have been asked as to 
the object and benefit. 

THE OBJECT. 

(1) While I am normal in health, I was a few 
pounds above normal in weight, hence, I took this 
means — not an unusual one with me — to reduce. 
This I accomplished without inconvenience, difficulty 
or detriment. 

(2) To prove to my satisfaction that my body is 
my servant, not my master. That there u a world 
of difference between appetite and hunger, and that 
I am not a slave to the former. God in His all- 
wise providence put the head on top that all beneath 
it should be subservient to its guidance. 

(3) For the purpose of house cleaning — bodily 
house cleaning. All good housekeepers are very par- 
ticular about the cleanliness of their home; but in 
spite of the daily care the dirt accumulates in the 
less frequented places; hence the annual house-clean- 
ing which is everywhere customary. 

How strange that so much care is given to the 
earthly habitation; how little to the temple of the 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 43 

souL "A man with a bad liver," said Henry Ward 
Beecher, '^can't be a good Christian." 

THE BENEFIT. 

I know of nothing that will so clear body and 
brain as an occasional fast coupled with proper exer- 
cise and daily baths. In my fast I lost but seven 
pounds; the rubbish that had accumulated during 
the winter months and for which I had no further 
use; hence the house-cleaning. 

But what about the man who works all day ? 
Bless your hearts ! I work all day and half the 
night. My working day averages seventeen hours. I 
work while the majority of men sleep and while the 
majority of men eat; for I take but a mere bite and 
a sip for breakfast ; nothing at noon, but I gain time 
by working steadily through the noon hour and 
remainder of the day, and then go to work again as 
soon after the six o'clock dinner as is compatible 
with good digestion. But my daily brisk walk, an 
occasional hour at the woodpile or shoveling snow, 
and my daily system of exercises are never neglected; 
these but offset and balance the mental work. So 
you see that with but one square meal a day I keep 
Lent the whole year 'round. 

"But," say the majority of persons with whom I 
have talked, "if I miss a meal I get faint." Yes, so 
does tJie toper when he misses his toddy. That 



44 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

simply proves you are a creature of habit, a slave to 
your appetite and that you mistake stimulation for 
strength. 

You can live like a king on one square meal a day; 
you can starve to death on three meals a day. It is 
a matter of quality, not quantity. Sixteen ounces 
of beans will run the human machinery of a work- 
ing man twenty-four hours and more, but if he ate 
cabbage instead of beans, it would require fifteen 
pounds to do the same work; hence you will see it is 
a matter of nutrition^ therefore the need of a knowl- 
edge of food values. 

But I was talking about fasting. As a rule I 
would not advise an absolute fast unless a physician 
is daily consulted as regards pulse-beat, heart action, 
etc. Even then, the habit of eating is so firmly fixed 
with the average person that if he omits a few 
meals his imagination runs riot and he fancies he 
is about to die — instead of diet. 

Therefore, I would suggest what is known as a 
fruit fast which, in reality, is not a fast but consists 
of a strictly fruit diet (fresh fruit, not canned) : 
only a fast as far as other foods are concerned. 

This kind of so-called fast I would heartily recom- 
mend for almost anyone who is ill. The one advan- 
tage it has over the absolute fast is that inasmuch 
as there is something to eat, something to chew, it 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 46 

quiets the mind; besides it supplies the bowels with 
sufficient refuse to keep them duly active. 

Whatever may be the nature of the fast, it should 
always be preceded by a warm enema. 

There is still another advantage of the fruit diet, 
a great advantage; viz.: the system is supplied with 
the various organic salts in the most natural form 
for absorption and assimilation, also the juices of 
the fruits furnish the finest distillation from Nature's 
own reservoir. This is true of all sun-kissed fruits. 

The fruit should be eaten raw, without trimmings; 
no cream or sugar. Whenever sugar is taken with 
an acid fruit it neutralizes the effect of the acid. 
If you want to tickle the palate, drink lemonade ; if 
3^ou want a remedial agent, drink lemon water — with- 
out the aid of sugar. 

In taking a fruit diet, both the acid and non-acid 
fruit may be eaten but should not be at the same 
meal. Among the acid fruits are oranges, apples, 
peaches, plums, pineapples, strawberries, blackberries, 
etc. Among the non-acid are bananas, pears, mel- 
ons, huckleberries, cantaloupes, fresh figs, etc. 

Are you bilious? Live on oranges one week, giv- 
ing the system a rest from the heavier foods. See 
what this will do for your stomach, your liver, and 
especially your complexion. Eat all the oranges you 
want and drink freelv of the orange juice (no sugar). 



46 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

If you want a clear complexion give cosmetics the 
go-l)v^ l)iit go Iniy a pock of oi-nnges instead. Try it. 
Lot mo wliisper a word to tlie husband. Tell your 
wife tliat you are going to try a fruit diet for a 
week^ and have her join you. When relieved from 
the pre})aration of throe meals a day she will have 
a liillo time for horsolC and will fully appreciate it — 
ilio week's vacation you give her. Watch the result. 
Soo tlio 1)ont tigiti'(> straighten up, note the lightness 
of tlio step and tin; brightness of the eye and, above 
a^i, Nvaich the roses come back to the faded cheeks. 
Ah, my brother, your sweetheart has come back. You 
had almost lost siglit of her in her multitudinous 
cares, but when slie again resumes her household 
duties she will do it with a lighter heart in conse- 
quence of tbo rest which the short respite from the 
daily routine has given her, and the improvement 
in body and mind which the fruit diet has made. 
And as for you, my brothei-, your change from the 
beavy foods wbich wore clogging your system to that 
of the clean, pure, wholesome juices of the fruit will 
give you a clearer vision and a greater appreciation, 
perhaps, of liev true worth. Try it. Do not take 
my word for it. God bless you, and He will bless 
you in every effort that you make to bring sunshine 
into the home. 

A-^igorously yours, 

EDWAED B. WARMAN.
